The four park visitors injured and taken to a hospital after a rider was thrown from a roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia were children, police said.
Hassan Kariem, a 42-year-old technology teacher, died shortly before 4 p.m. Monday after being ejected from the high-speed Goliath hypercoaster at the park outside Atlanta.
The four children were transported by ambulance for treatment of injuries that were not considered life-threatening, according to authorities.
“Because they were all juveniles, no further information can be shared,” E.D. Smith, a public information officer for Cobb County police, told The Post.

Six Flags plans to reopen the park Friday, although Goliath will stay “temporarily closed,” a park spokesperson told ABC News on Wednesday.
The Cobb County Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit and Georgia’s Office of the Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire are investigating the incident. The state agency oversees amusement-ride safety in Georgia.
